Dylan feared obessive fans

Legendary singer Bob Dylan was so fearful of obsessive fans during his heyday in the 1960s he kept firearms at home to defend himself and his family.

The Mr Tambourine Man star felt so besieged by his followers - during a decade marked by the high-profile assassinations of John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King - he stored three guns including a Colt pistol and a Winchester rifle at his Woodstock home in upstate New York.
